I'm a former journalist and have rejected a traditional-publisher book advance in the past (£2k for something that'll take me 6 months to write? No thanks!). Not wishing to sound like a fanboy, but I'm really loving the Leanpub experience, even though I'm waiting till I'm mostly finished before publishing v 0.9 of my book [1]. (It isn't the same one for which I was offered and advance; this one took a about 6 months of a few evenings a week.) The ability to push updates, etc, does really make a big psychological difference to me as an engineer-meets-author - I'm creating something which I plan to evolve/do point releases on, based on user feedback. It's a little like Agile meets publishing, I guess. [1] <shameless> http://leanpub.com/freelancedeveloperbook http://leanpub.com/freelancedeveloperbook </shameless>
